(Not sure how interesting this is to others, but since I'd never seen one before, I thought there may be some others interested as well)
Sunday afternoon I took a walk around the bass ponds at MN valley NWR and saw a single black tern mixed in with a large flock of swallows skimming over the water. The tern was fishing over long meadow lake right where there is a clearing that overlooks a water inlet from the bass pond. Gorgeous bird. Other birds observed in the area included a pair of Yellow-throated Vireos, a Belted Kingfisher, Indigo Bunting, a couple Eastern Kingbirds, and the trio of the usual warblers (Common Yellowthroat, Yellow, and American Redstart) ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
